How to Use EP-RL1-PI3545 in Your Formulations
Understanding EP-RL1-PI3545 Emulsion Pearls
Think of these pearls as tiny bubbles filled with a complete, high-quality moisturizing cream. Instead of adding a dozen different ingredients to create a hydrating effect, you can add these pearls to deliver a pre-made, nourishing blend in a visually stunning way. When rubbed onto the skin, the soft outer shell breaks, releasing the silky cream inside. This creates a delightful sensory experience that instantly elevates your product from ordinary to luxurious.
For the expert chemist, EP-RL1-PI3545 is an encapsulated oil-in-water emulsion system. The agar-based shell protects a complex internal phase containing emollients (Shea Butter, Dimethicone), humectants (Sodium Hyaluronate, Panthenol, Trehalose), and a sophisticated emulsifier blend. This allows you to introduce a stable, rich cream into a simple aqueous gel or serum base, creating a multi-phase product with minimal effort.
Formulation Tips
- Usage Rate: Use 1–5% depending on the desired visual density. Start at 1–2% for a subtle effect and increase to 3–5% for a dramatic, pearl-rich look.
- When to Add: Always incorporate during the cool-down phase below 40°C (104°F). Adding to a hot base will melt the shell and destroy the pearls.
- Suspension Is Key: These are large pearls (3.5–4.5 mm). Build sufficient viscosity to keep them evenly suspended. Carbomer gels or adequately thickened natural gums (e.g., Xanthan Gum) work best.
- Mixing: Gently fold the pearls into your finished, thickened base. Avoid high-shear mixing, which can prematurely rupture the pearls. Slow, gentle stirring is sufficient.
- Preservation: The internal cream phase is preserved; however, your base formula—especially if water-based—must include its own robust broad-spectrum preservative system.
